Hi ladies, I haven't been on in a while as I was enjoying my third week feeling ok!  Kathcurtis- thinking of you for Wednesday and your new puppy is gorgeous!  Just had my second FEC with a dose reduction of 10% with cyclizine added in from the start and a higher dose of ondansetron so we'll see how it goes. By this point last time I'd felt faint and the bad nausea had started. Got some a lift  nausea, a fuzzy head, and just feel weird but I'm getting as much fluid in as possible and munching slowly on some Ritz crackers! Fingers crossed! ... View more

Curedars I too have just been prescribed cyclizine tablets as it worked for me in a and e. Just trying to get as much fluid in as possible which I'm starting to manage this afternoon luckily so I hopefully won't need another drip. Hope everyone else is doing as ok as possible xx ... View more

Evening. Just a quick update from me- had first FEC yesterday (can't believe only yesterday) and unfortunately not plain sailing for me. 2 hours after the end of chemo I was really sick and faint and then so so sick all afternoon / evening (I'd had all the sickness meds including emend and it didn't touch the sides). Also numbness in both arms and a bit in legs so ended up in a&e as the chemo assessment unit was full- so from 10 last night until about 5 today been in hospital having cyclizine (amazing by the way) and a drip as my sodium was low. In a way I'm not surprised as I was told if you have bad morning sickness you're more likely to be affected by the sickness and I always respond to any meds with side effects! I'm back home though, in my own bed after hours on a  trolley and touch wood at the moment I'm feeling ok. I can still call the district nurses out as well to give metroclopromide as well xx ...
